The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar 111, has cautioned Nigeria’s military against allowing themselves to be used by politicians for selfish purposes..
The monarch, who made the remark on Saturday, at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Alumni 18th Regular Course re-union held at the Sultan Maccido Institute of Quran and General Studies, Sokoto, urged the military to remain apolitical and not allow politicians to use them for political objectives.
He said, “The military should use their professional experience and knowledge for national needs and should not involve in politics or allow political leaders to use them to achieve their political goals,” the monarch said.
The Sultan noted that Nigeria was blessed with retired high ranking officers, who could use their experience in helping towards tackling the security challenge ravaging some parts of the country.
The monarch recalled that he joined NDA 18th regular course in 1975, saying the essence of the Alumni re-union was to promote unity and foster brotherhood among the retired officers.
He underscored the need for mutual understanding and tolerance, saying Nigerians should not allow politicians to create division among them.

when will our political and religious leaders stop these blame games and suggest positive ways to solving the problem facing this Nation, we all know the power of the sultan, so why can't he tell those using the military to stop destroying the country, why did he allow himself as a spiritual leader to be used by politicians. It is only GOD Who can help Nigeria at this time.
